This new work is motivated by the children's novel of similar name by Benjamín Alire Sáenz, which was distributed in 2012 and is set in El Paso, Texas, in 1987.

When Mexican-American teenagers Aristóteles Mendoza and Dante Quintana meet in a swimming pool and form an extraordinary bond. The work of 'Ari' Mendoza will be played by actor Max Pelayo, while Dante Quintana will be rejuvenated by Reese Gonzales.

What Aitch Alberto says about the tape

"Fundamentally, Ari and Dante tell a tale of self-discovery and recognition," Aitch Alberto said in a statement.

"My own excursion helped me understand that there is nothing more meaningful than standing up and fully tolerating what our identity is and being seen by it."

"I am motivated to focus on masculine weakness that incorporates a more understanding and empathetic outlook that reclassifies manhood, explicitly for the Latino group of people. To say that this is a small glimpse of heaven would be to say little" concluded Aitch Alberto.

Films that Eugenio Derbez and Eva Longoria have made together

Eva Longoria and Eugenio Derbez had so far shared credits in previous works, for example, “Dora and the lost city of gold” the movie and “Over the edge”.

Lately, the famous Mexican film actor and producer played Bernardo in the movie 'CODA', in addition to participating in the parody 'Acapulco', both are part of 'Apple TV'.

While Eva, lately, completed her first time fronting 'Flamin Hot' and delivered the movie 'Sylvie's Love and The Boss Baby: Family Business'.
